SECTION 4: Firs t aid measures4.1. Descripti on of firs t aid measures

First-aid measures after inhalation : Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, giveoxygen. Get medical attention.

First-aid measures after skin contact : Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops or persists.

First-aid measures after eye contact : Immediately flush eyes with water and continue washing for at least 15 minutes. Obtain medicalattention if discomfort persists.

First-aid measures after ingestion : Do NOT induce vomiting. Get immediate medical attention.

4.2. Most impor tant sympt oms and effects, both acute and delayed

Symptoms/injuries after inhalation : Short-term (acute) overexposure to the gases, fumes, and dusts may include irritation of theeyes, lungs, nose, and throat. Some toxic gases associated with welding may cause pulmonaryedema, asphyxiation, and death.

Acute overexposure may include signs and symptoms such as watery eyes, nose and throatirritation, headache, dizziness, difficulty in breathing, frequent coughing, or chest pain. Thepresence of chromium/chromate in fume can cause irritation of nasal membranes and skin. Thepresence of nickel compounds in fume can cause metallic taste, nausea, tightness of chest,fever, and allergic reaction. Excessive inhalation or ingestion of manganese can producemanganese poisoning. Overexposure to manganese compounds may affect the central nervoussystem, symptoms of which are languor, sleepiness, muscular weakness, emotionaldisturbances, and spastic gait resembling Parkinsonism. These symptoms can becomeprogressive and permanent if not treated. Excessive inhalation of fumes may cause “Metal FumeFever” with Flu-like symptoms such as chills, fever, body aches, vomiting, sweating, etc.

Symptoms/injuries after skin contact : Dusts may cause irritation.

Symptoms/injuries after eye contact : Causes eye irritation.

Symptoms/injuries after ingestion : Not an anticipated route of exposure during normal product handling. May be harmful if ingested.

Skin and body protection : Wear head and body protection, which help to prevent injury from radiation, sparks, flame andelectrical shock. See ANSI Z49.1. At a minimum this includes welder’s gloves and a protectiveface shield, and may include arm protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder protection, as well as darksubstantial clothing. Train the employee not to touch live electrical parts and to insulatehim/herself from work and ground. Welders should not wear short sleeve shirts or short pants.

Respiratory protection : If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH approved respiratoryprotection should be worn.

None.

10.5. Incompatibl e materials

None.

10.6. Hazardous decompos itio n produc ts

Welding fumes and gases cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of both are dependent upon the metal being welded, theprocess, procedure and welding consumables used. Other conditions which also influence the composi tion and quantity of the fumes and gases towhich workers may be exposed include: coating on the metal being welded (i.e. paint, painting, galvanizing), the number of welders, the volume ofthe work area, the quality and the amount of ventilation, the position of the welders head with respect to the fume plume, as well as the presence ofcontaminants in the atmosphere (such as chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors from the cleaning and degreasing activities).

When an electrode is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products generated are different in percent and form from the ingredients listedin Section 3. Fume and gas decomposition, and not the ingredients in the electrode, are important. The concentration of a given fume or gascomponent may decrease or increase by many times the original concentration. Also, new compounds not in the electrodes may form.

Decomposition products of normal operation include those originating from the volatilization, reaction or oxidation of the materials shown inSection3, plus those from the base metal coating, etc., as noted above.

Reasonable expected fume constituents of this product would include: Complex oxides of iron, manganese, sil icon, chromium, nickel, columbium,molybdenum, copper, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ozone and nitrogen oxides. Some products will also contain antimony, barium,molybdenum, aluminum, columbium, magnesium, strontium, tungsten, and or zirconium. Fume limit for chromium, nickel and or manganese may bereached before limit of 5 mg/m3 of general welding fumes is reached.

Gaseous reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides may be formed by the radiation from thearc. Determine the composition and quantity of fumes and gases to which workers are exposed by taking an air sample from inside the welder’shelmet if worn or in the worker’s breathing zone. Improve ventilation if exposures are not below limits. See ANSI/AWS F1.1, F1.3 and F1.5,available from the American Welding Society, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126.
